His words were cold and to the point—it was nothing as romantic as she had envisioned. Skylar
scolded herself for being so petty. Tobias was treating it like a chore instead of messaging her
willingly. Did he feel forced into it by me somehow?
Skylar replied: Can I ask why you’re in Thailand, by the way? For in-vitro fertilization? Getting sex
reassignment surgery done?
Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she typed frantically. She wanted to find a common topic of
interest with him. Truth be told, it was rather pressurizing to have a conversation with a man that was
ten years older than her—she couldn’t think of what to say at all.
Should she be like those university couples and send him lovey dovey messages? No, that was way
too cheesy.
Tobias replied immediately: I don’t need that. Besides, I have no wish of becoming a woman. I’m here
for a tattoo.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSkylar rolled around in bed excitedly. She didn’t feel tired anymore.
She couldn’t help but associate tattoos with backstreet gangsters, who covered their entire bodies with
skulls and other morbid images. This was the complete opposite of Tobias’s vibe—he was mature and
civilized. Since it was quite improbable that he would have gangster friends, how did he ever think of
getting a tattoo?
A sudden realization dawned on her. Had Tobias decided to get a tattoo of her name to prove his love
for her? However, this sort of idea was quite preposterous. Skylar was not one of those girls who lost
all sense of logic the moment they got into a relationship.
However, although she tried to hold herself back, her fingers were very honest.
She replied: What tattoo did you get? You don’t have to do that for me…
The chat window showed that he was typing a reply. However, it disappeared after a short while.
Skylar held onto her phone tightly, looking at the screen without blinking. However, Tobias didn’t reply
for another thirty minutes. Had her words baffled him?
In the dead of the night, the crickets were chirping loudly. The surrounding was so quiet that Skylar
could even hear her own breathing.
After an hour had passed, she decided to message him again.
Skylar typed: ???
Waiting for him to reply was agonizing. Her heart kept beating furiously. She tossed and turned a few
times as she yawned loudly. After turning around a few times, she finally fell asleep holding her phone.
When she woke up the next morning, Skylar felt around the bed for her phone before she even opened
her eyes. When she finally did, the sun was already shining outside. Fatigue made her lie in bed for a
little longer. When she saw a new notification on her phone, however, she jolted awake immediately.
Tobias said: Sorry, my phone ran out of battery last night while I was out.
That message was sent at eight in the morning. Women were much more analytical when they were in
love. Like Sherlock Holmes, Skylar started to pull apart Tobias’s words in her mind. He was out at one
in the morning. However, most youngsters would never let their phones run out of battery. They usually

them?
Has he been drinking at one of Thailand’s bars yesterday night?
Tobias used to be a VVIP at Elysium. Every time the boss knew of his arrival, he would run out and
greet Tobias as though he were the president himself. Men would get bored easily if they only drank at
bars. There were definitely women around yesterday night.
The more she thought about it, the more troubled Skylar felt.
She felt a little bad for treating Tobias so unfairly. After her relationship with Jeremy, she had become
much warier of her men, especially her boyfriends. As she thought about it, she realized that Tobias
wasn’t exactly innocent either. After all, he didn’t have the best reputation in this regard.
If she were a man and had Tobias’ net worth and irresistible face, she would have gotten herself a
harem by now. How could he stand being tied down by one woman?
Perhaps the reason behind Tobias and Tanya’s delayed wedding was because he didn’t want to be tied
down just yet. Perhaps, he still longed for the world of wine and women.
